WATCHING a video of Pete Doherty singing his controversial track Lost Art of Murder, and joking about ‘suspicious deaths’, Sheila Blanco feels sick to her stomach.
The footage was filmed in the East London flat where, four months earlier in December 2006, her 30-year-old son Mark plunged to his death from a balcony outside a party attended by the Babyshambles rocker.
Now, 17 years after she promised her dying son she would find out what happened that night, Sheila is still fighting for the truth.
In a new Channel 4 documentary, Pete Doherty, Who Killed My Son? the heartbroken mother claims Met Police bungled the initial investigation into Mark’s suspicious death, missed key evidence and lied about watching CCTV video.
The teacher from Guildford also says footage shows “callous” Doherty and his minder Johnny ‘Headlock’ Jeannevol “stepping over” Mark and running from the scene minutes after he fell.
